4 Clear Audio Technologies WALKMAN has always stood for the highest quality portable audio. The WALKMAN video NWZA has four ‘Clear Audio’ technologies: Clear Stereo: Technology keeping the two signals clearly separate. So what you should be hearing in your left ear will never ‘leak’ into the right ear. Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE): This unique feature improves compressed audio quality restoring high frequency signals to poor recording. Clear Bass: Gives clear, rich bass without distortion. EX-Headphone: The unique shape of the earphones allows the biggest possible sound unit (13.5mm) whilst maintaining the most comfortable in-ear fit.

Display 2" QVGA colour LCD, high resolution (320 x 240), high brightness, high contrast and superior colour reproduction display your videos at their best. To avoid the problem sometimes experienced when viewing small screens, Sony has used its TV expertise to create a great picture. For example, using a low temperature poly-silicon TFT panel with LED backlight to reproduce 262,144 individual colours so mobile viewing does not mean compromising on quality.

Battery Life Prolong your entertainment with the WALKMAN video. Fully charged you can access thirty hours worth of music playback or eight hours of video. To fully charge the battery takes only three hours. *Music: ATRAC 132 kbps **Video MPEG-4 384kbps

Customer Reviews

I love it!
This Sony walkman is fantastic! I have owned an iPod, which broke after a year, and also a Creative:Vision M - that died after 9 months. The Sony Walkman is far superior to either of these. The sound quality is great, I especially like the different sound settings. It looks really attractive, the pink colour is really cute, plus it's really thin so it will fit in your jeans pocket easily. Sometimes pink things can look vile when you get them in your hand, but it's not the case for the Walkman. The memory is good for what I need it for - it can actually hold more songs than I previously thought. The battery life is also good - I use it loads travelling to and from university and it only really needs charging once a week. The headphones that came with it were a bit weird so I'm using it with some JVC ones and the sound quality is still good. The battery does take quite a while to charge. The controls are user friendly and if you don't want an iPod but are looking for a good mp3 player, I'd say buy this!

Music To My Ears!!!!!!! :-)
I am so in LOVE with my PINK delightful walkman.
I ordered it in the morning and got it in the afternoon - hmm yes I did - and it is fantastic! - Amazon rocks!
The little box contains loads of instructions - so many languages - you could set up your own language school!

However be patient dear reader you do find the quick set up booklet very fast indeed.

A bit of a tip here just put the cd into your pc and it automatically sets up everything for you just do as it says on the tin oops computer screen.
Also there is a pdf file with the instruction manual that you can store on your computer - I actually used that - far more easier as I do not have fantastic fine finger movement.

So within 10 minutes of receiving the parcel I was up and running and downloading a playlist for my lovely PINK friend. In actual fact it took longer to open the door sign for the parcel and open the packaging etc than to start the set up and start creating a playlist!

Be prepared to wait 3 hours to charge up the battery via a cable and usb port on your computer. (Bright idea! While your waiting your own unique playlists you will be absolutely amazed at how much music this little wonder will hold. I used windows media player 10 - *faint* it is all drag and drop and that's it - really? - Yes! What a relief I am really a technophobe!

Setting up the Walkman was a breeze via just three buttons and a direction ring surrounding the pause play button - arrows are there to guide you up down left and right to set such things as time date and personal preferences.

The screen text is very clear and understandable too! (why other electronic products cannot be as simple I do not know)

The picture quality of the CD covers are wonderful (haven't put any video or pictures on the Walkman as of yet)

The walkman comes supplied with medium ear buds fitted (the soft rubber type) indeed in your bag of goodies there are small and large buds as well so your sure to find a pair that fits your own ears. They are comfortable - I know because I tried them - however I personally do not like buds they flop out of my ears each time I turn my head frustrating as hell!

I do have a pair of lightweight around the neck ear phones I am sure there is a technical word for those but I cannot remember!

So to the real test what does it sound like? Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! You can alter the sound to sound like its live - in the studio or arena there are some other settings but I cannot bring them to mind at the moment.

This wonderful PINK slim and thin player is a WOW!!! and I would recommend it whole heartedly to anyone it's available in various colours as you can read I chose PINK! (like the lips of your lover!)

I would suggest you do purchase a case or cover for this lovely product as I have this morning - I just do not want to scratch or damage it in anyway - part of me feels it has a lovely personality already!

The function buttons albeit small are user friendly i.e. small enough to not look odd but large enough to be functional Sony have done a lovely job on this walkman and I bought it on the recommendation of the previous review and his comments are so right!
It is not rocket science to set up and use this MP3. Small is truly beautiful!!!!!!!
Buy one for your Husband - Lover - Mother - Brother - Dad - Daughter - Sister - and indeed yourself and swing ya pants!
Happy Listening !

Sony Walkman Aims For The Top
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and would thoroughly recommend it. As stated in other reviews the NWZA models have ditched the frustrating software of the previous models, which annoyingly look exactly the same as the new ones, and all you have to do is connect to your PC and drag-and-drop. Everything is downloaded in minutes and off you go. Unlike many mp3 players, the controls are easy to use, the index system being laid out the same way as a mobile phone. The headphones included are actually very good and the sound quality is excellent, as good if not better than my own Creative Vision M. Put it this way, if I had to buy a new model I would definately look at Sony's range. The only downside is that the Sony's always cost that little bit more than the others, but at least reliability is a stable part of the Sony brand and, if you shop around, you can find some good deals. The same model in black was £15.00 cheaper at amazon, but hey.. girls have just got to have pink. All in all a very nice piece of kit.
